Hi Alicia,

Glad to hear of you finding roots in Aguascalientes. I also have roots
there as on the death certificate of my GGG grandfather Pedro Torres it
is said he was from Aguascalientes. I don't know more than that. . .one
of the many trails that I will have to follow as time permits.

Recently I was in the Univ. of NC, Chapel Hill map room and I decided to
do some digital copies of the Aguascalientes area. I didn't do ever
corner of it but just some of the highlites. . .

In the maps Album you'll find it now broken up into five subfolders:
Reference, Aguascalientes, Jalisco, Historical, and Zacatecas.

in the Aguascalientes subfolder there is a map there called Pabellon de
Hidalgo. I think this map might be close to where your Hacienda de
Pabellon might be, but it is probably on the next map sheet over to the
right or east of the one shown. Have a look and if you want I can hunt
for it next time I'm at UNC. I think I remember seeing Rincon de Romos,
but couldn't find it on this map.

Also I've uploaded a map with a Ranchos called El Astillero. . .I think
this must be a different map from the El Astillero that Ed Serros comes
from. I thought that Ranchos was close to Valparaiso, Zacatecas. . .then
again I can't quite make out the boundaries and maybe this scan is
actually of Zacatecas.

ps: have a look in the Reference. If you see an map you'd like me to
look for you or if anyone else is hunting for something in specific all
i need is the Larger Reference number as in: F13, F14, E13, E14 and then
the specific map number: A11, A12, A13 etc.

So you'd say something like F15 B55 Valparaiso

I am still working through some of these rolls and don't want to order any film until I finish with what I have on order.

That's when I was young and muy taruga about these things. It is one of the areas of Mexico that has a lot of industry. Aguascalientes has a large textile industry. They produce many fine linens, blankets and clothing. We stayed in hotels in Aguascalientes while visiting the outer provinces as it appeared to be clean, safe and concentric to the areas we wanted to visit at the time.
